Astronomers have discovered a planet made up of water – Utro.Ru

Sensational discovery has made a team of astronomers from the United States, Switzerland, the UK and Chile. Scientists have discovered a Planet , almost entirely consisting of water and an unknown solid. However, it is surrounded by an atmosphere which consists of steam.

detection celestial body was given the unofficial name of “Water World.” The planet is at a distance of 124 light-years from Earth. We already know that it is larger than the planet twice. And her weight, on the other hand, seven times less, says American Christians Science Monitor.

Scientists plan to closely monitor the planet and explore it to the maximum. We already know that in the world there is an unusual phenomenon. Water, if it affected by high temperatures, changes the structure and gets hot ice.

Earlier, scientists have found water outside our solar system. It represents the rain clouds that envelop brown dwarf WISE J0855-0714, who once was a star. But he was not strong enough to start the fusion reaction in the core and become a full hot star. As a result, he “died” and became dense as the planet. The temperature on its surface is almost the same as in the winter in Russia.

Before that astronomers could not find water outside our solar system. According to the hypothesis, scientists, water is on Titan, a moon of Pluto. Large reserves of liquid under a thick layer of ice.

Recall that today “Morning” reported on new discoveries on Mars.
